Unparalleled gaming experiencePaired with a suitable cpu and GPU, this monitor provides 144fps with a 1ms response time. It isn't plastered with sync this and blah blah branding, but it gets the job done like nothing else. Finally, driving in a video game has the same frame rate as real life. But be careful. Once you experience this, 60fps will feel laggy and unresponsive, such as when you are using your cell phone, or another computer. Once you go 144fps, there's no turning back. The one issue is that it isn't an IPS monitor, so don't get it to view the monitor with other people. Sitting in different places, the image fades at different viewing angles. But it's solid for sitting directly in front of it, with your eyes at level, or above the monitor.

Greatest Budget 144Hz Monitor,DVI-cable=144Hz(HDMI,vga=60Hz)Received mine with no problem what so ever(dead pixel or damage part) include required cables, will be elaborating later. Great picture quality. Great intro into 144Hz monitor, all games that screen tear are gone. Frame rate on some game did dip but it's expected upgrading from an old standard 1280x1024. One negative thing is I would like to have been informed with documentation or in the quick setup manual that 144Hz refresh rate work only with DVI-Dual link cable-bonus points for them is Acer supply you one in the box.

Arrived with a dead pixelMy son wanted this for the faster refresh rate that his gaming rig needs. It works just fine however we found the dead pixel the first day. Quality control for the manufacturer should have caught this before the item left the factory. The B&H aspect of the purchase went fine. They made it easy to find, the price was right and they shipped it promptly. This dead pixel though. I recommend B&H I do not recommend this monitor.

Pleasantly SurprisedI was apprehensive about this purchase. Unsure that an incredible deal for a 144hz monitor could live up to my expectations. As the title says...I am surprised. I came from gaming on a 4k HDR 55 Samsung TV. Picture was beautiful, vibrant and blacks were inky. With that said, going to this could be consider a down grade in most comparisons. I'm not missing 4k... After lowering brightness to 40 and adjusting vibrancy to 60 in nvidia panel, the images look great. I also managed to get lightboost to work with toastyx's software help. Unfortunately, the trade off on image quality and ghosting was not worth it for me. All frequencies work great...144,120,110,60. There were no dead/stuck pixels. No damage to parts or packaging. It also appears the more I use the monitor the less I notice the minimal ghosting at 144 hz. I have also found it to help in game to play at 120hz. My only regret is that I may have enjoy a 27 since I underestimated my experience at 55 4k on KS8000. Beyond manufacturing defects...anyone who would not recommend this monitor is a snob!

Amazona QualityI currently have a dual monitor setup right now because of this monitor. My old monitor was really degrading but this new one really opened my eyes as a photographer to color grading and contrast.

Sick of screen tearing?? Want 144 Hz?? This is the one, dudeSo happy I took the plunge on this monitor. Acer is a great brand that is recognizable and I trust them inherently at this point after all the satisfactory Acer products I've had. I was sick of getting awesome frame rates out of my GTX 670 GPU (Yes, I'm still running that card, and yes, it's still getting great frame rates on some newer games.) I play some games that aren't too graphically intense on a pretty good card, so my PC can get up to around 140 FPS on games like Paladins or DoW: Dark Crusade. That being said, I had no idea why my screen tearing was so AWFUL! After some research, I found that it was because despite my FPS, my monitor was limited to 60 Hz (77 Hz if overclocked). Here I was thinking I needed a new GPU or something, when really the problem was just that my old monitors were less than ideal, as far as gaming goes. I ordered the Acer GN246HL Bbid (*sighs exaustively*), and was more than happy to see it perform better than my expectations. I expected maybe a dead picel or two: none. Expected 1080p to be underwhelming: not in the slightest. Upgrading from a 19 monitor to a 24 can't be that big of a difference: *Trump voice* WRONG. Seriously, this monitor has got to be one of the best budget gaming ones out there. Get it on sale if you can, but I wouldn't be surprised if they fly off the shelves as soon as they do drop in price, so keep an eye on this one. Hope this helps!!

Elite Gaming MonitorGreat monitor for competitive gaming in every way. Very bright, crystal clear, fast refresh. Minus one star because the monitor is slow to warm up. I turn off my PC nightly, it takes my monitor more time (3 seconds) to boot up then my OS. While this seems trivial, it is slightly annoying when you boot your PC daily and you spend 8+ hours in front of a monitor. If you can overlook this minor detail, great 1080 monitor.

Very pleased but...The only problem I have with this monitor is the fact that it can not pivot on it's base. The monitor is fixed in a position in which it is angled slightly upwards. Given the height of my desk and chair, I'm looking at my screen from an angle in which the top of the screen looks a bit darker than it should. Other than that, this monitor is fantastic.
